HEY! And thanks. Yes i know you never do get your money back but that's not an issue to me. I don't plan on selling it as it was a guift from the son of a man iuse to hunt quail with years ago. He has pased now and i never saw this gun, he never spoke of it but his son said he left it to me. So money would not matter (even if i had it to do the restoration) with reguards to a restoration. I am just trying to see if this gun being a grade 4 and two barrel set should be restored at any cost because of what it is. I have a couple of other Ithaca's but am not that formilure with them. Now i will start learning. I plan on buying Mr. Snyders' book asap.
Thanks for your help
Tommy
